You should check the definition of value proposition. [0] Ethereum had one: "a cryptocurrency with a programming language beyond opcodes"

EOS value proposition is: "a platform for building DApps beyond PoW (using DPoS) and industry-ready TPS (with Graphene[1])".

Both DPoS and Graphene are inventions of Larimer. For many this is enough, and that reflects why it's already a top 15 crypto.

You're saying a vaporware blockchain with unproven claims has a more solid value proposition than Ethereum because its founder created two cryptocurrencies that combined have a market capitalization that equals 4% of Ethereum's.

>Ethereum had one: "a cryptocurrency with a programming language beyond opcodes"

It didn't have one until it had working code.


No, I'm saying that I trusted Ethereum would be built when it was a project idea although Vitalik was only a blogger, and that I'm trusting Daniel because hi has even better chances of delivering.

And that is the reason why I bought in both crowsdsales. Your call...


You can trust EOS all you want, but that doesn't give it a "solid value proposition" that can be demonstrated. I'm simply disputing your choice of words, as it gives a misleading impression in my opinion.
